This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - June Celebrations, Perfect Landing: June Celebrations
What I Built
I created a comprehensive landing page celebrating Juneteenth - the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.
The page educates visitors about the historical significance of June 19, 1865, while providing modern ways to honor and celebrate this important day of freedom.
The landing page features:
- Historical timeline and educational content
- Traditional celebration ideas and modern observances
- Resources for further learning and community involvement
- Responsive design with accessibility features
- Rich visual storytelling with meaningful imagery
Demo
Journey
Building this landing page was both educational and inspiring.
I researched extensively to ensure historical accuracy while creating an engaging user experience.
The design uses colors inspired by the Pan-African flag and incorporates subtle animations that enhance rather than distract from the content.
Key development focuses:
- Semantic HTML structure for screen readers
- High contrast ratios for accessibility
- Mobile-first responsive design
- Performance optimization for fast loading
- Clear information hierarchy and easy navigation
I'm particularly proud of the timeline section that makes the historical progression clear and engaging.
The resource section provides actionable ways for people to get involved in their communities.
Moving forward, I'd love to add interactive elements like a community event map and user-generated content features.
This project deepened my understanding of both web accessibility principles and the rich history of Juneteenth.
It reinforces how technology can be used to educate and bring communities together.
